  • thermoregulated fluid being under pressure in the circuit
  • these automatic closing means are actuated automatically at each stop of the blowing installation (for example during an emergency stop or during a stop to allow maintenance operations on the installation).
  • These automatic closing means are also triggered when the maintenance agent opens the doors to access the heart of the blowing system.
  • thermoregulated fluid remains under pressure in the circuit after the mold has been disconnected from its respective support, it is relatively difficult to re-fasten the mold to its respective support, since it is then necessary to exert a significant counterpressure force. .
  • thermoregulated fluid is oil whose temperature may be greater than 100 ° C, because there is always, during this purge, liquid projection risks and burning of the maintenance agent.
  • this solution is unsatisfactory from an environmental point of view.
  • thermo-regulated fluid circuit arranged in such a way as to reduce the risks of projection of the hot fluid under pressure during the disconnecting the mold from its respective support while facilitating the attachment of the mold on its support.
  • the counter-pressure of said auxiliary fluid can be lowered from its maximum pressure to substantially its minimum pressure and the thermoregulated fluid under pressure can relax in said variable volume chamber until its pressure reaches substantially atmospheric pressure. This reduces the risks of projection of the thermoregulated fluid under pressure out of the support when the mold is separated from its respective support while said automatic closing means of said circuit are malfunctioning.

  • thermoregulated fluid circuit In order to allow the thermoregulated fluid to be placed at atmospheric pressure in the thermoregulated fluid circuit, it is desirable for the second pressurized fluid circuit to comprise means for exhausting outwardly from said auxiliary fluid under pressure.
  • said second main branch may advantageously comprise two pressure gauges located respectively on either side of said valve integrated in said second main branch.

  • an installation 1 (diagrammatically in the form of a block) of blow molding of hollow bodies, in particular of containers such as bottles, made of thermoplastic material comprises at least one support 2 of mold (schematized in the form of a block) to which can be detachably secured a mold 3 removable blow (schematically in the form of a block).
  • the installation 1 can be arranged in the form of a carousel rotating around the periphery of which is provided a plurality of mold supports 2 to which can be detachably secured a plurality of molds 3 of respective removable blowing.
  • Each support 2 comprises means 4 for fluidic connection with a respective mold 3 thus enabling the formation of at least one circuit 5 for circulating a heat-regulated fluid under pressure through at least one of said supports 2 and one of said respective molds 3, the thermal regulation of the fluid being obtained using thermoregulatory means 6.
  • at least two molds 3 can be connected to the same circuit 5 of temperature control fluid.
  • thermoregulated fluid may be either water or oil and thus allows the heating of the mold, the circulation channels of said thermoregulated fluid being machined inside the mold.
  • means for automatically closing the circuit 5 are provided in the support 2.
  • these automatic closing means may be in the form of a shutoff shutoff valve. automatic and are actuated during a shutdown of the installation 1, for example either following a technical incident on the installation 1, or following an opening of doors to access the heart of the installation 1.
  • thermoregulated fluid circuit 5 is fluidly connected to an enclosure 7 which has a variable volume chamber 8.
  • Auxiliary fluid generating means 9 at an adjustable pressure can vary the pressure of said auxiliary fluid between a maximum pressure substantially equal to the pressure of the thermoregulated fluid under pressure present in said circuit 5 and a minimum pressure substantially equal to the atmospheric pressure.
  • Said generating means 9 are connected to the enclosure 7 outside the chamber 8 so that said variable volume chamber 8 is subjected to the counterpressure of said adjustable pressure auxiliary fluid.
  • thermoregulated fluid under pressure can relax in said variable volume chamber 8. its pressure substantially reaches atmospheric pressure.
  • the pressure of the thermoregulated fluid present in the circuit 5 has therefore been lowered substantially to atmospheric pressure and, even if the automatic closing means of the circuit 5 are malfunctioning, the risk of projection is reduced. of thermoregulated fluid under pressure out of the support 2.
  • auxiliary fluid generators under adjustable pressure can be included in a second circuit 10 of auxiliary fluid under pressure, such as pressurized air.
  • the second circuit 10 may advantageously comprise means for exhausting outwardly of said auxiliary fluid under pressure.
  • the enclosure 7 comprises a wall 11 internal, perfectly sealed, of the mobile or deformable type, separating said enclosure 7 into two chambers respectively 8 and 12 of respective internal volumes variables.

It is thus possible to verify the proper functioning of the valve 18 of the second main branch 17 by the presence of these gauges 26, 27 on either side of the valve 18.
  • a pressure switch 29 can be provided in the second main branch 17 between the valve 18 of the second main branch 17 and the connection 24.
